Karma (by any other name)by Sandy SimpsonThis DVD is a message based on this
article.

According to Wikipedia:

"Karma means action, work or deed; it also refers to
the principle of causality where intent and actions of an individual influence
the future of that individual. Good intent and good deed contribute
to good karma and future happiness, while bad intent and bad deed contribute
to bad karma and future suffering. Karma is closely associated with
the idea of rebirth in some schools of Asian religions. In these
schools, karma in the present affects one's future in the current life,
as well as the nature and quality of future lives - or, one's samsara.
With origins in ancient India, it is a key concept in Hinduism, Buddhism,
Jainism, Sikhism, Taoism, Shintoism, Ching Hai and others."(emphasis mine)

Mirram-Webster defines it this way:

the force created by a person's actions that is believed
in Hinduism and Buddhism to determine what that person's next life will
be like: the force created by a person's actions that some people believe
causes good or bad things to happen to that person

His Name, The Only Nameby Sandy SimpsonThis DVD is a message based on this
article.

Zechariah 14:9 NIV The LORD will be king over the whole
earth. On that day there will be one LORD, and his name the only name.

The reason I wrote this article based on
Zech 14:9 is that I was reminded of how many so-called Christians, who
are influential in the churches, are promoting the worship of God in the
names of other gods.

Replacement Theology On Steroidsby Sandy SimpsonThis DVD is a message based on this
article.

So, as you can see, the root of this teaching is that
Israel no longer holds the distinction of being the tree from which the
Root of David (Jesus-Rev. 5:5, 22:16) came. They are no longer the
"natural branches" (Israel-Rom. 11:21) on to which Gentile Christianity
(the wild shoots-Rom. 11:17 or wild branches-Rom. 11:24) are grafted in
(Rom. 11:17-24). According to Replacement Theology, Christianity
has now become its own branch apart from Israel (the natural branch) that
produced the Root and all the promises of the Bible to Israel have been
taken away from them and given to the Gentile Church. This is why
you hear so many false teachers taking verses out of context from the Old
Testament and willy-nilly applying them to the Gentile Church. This
methodology has been going on for decades in liberal churches and has been
popularized by many false teachers on TV. But the fact is that Replacement
Theology is utter false doctrine. It denies promises made to Israel,
some of which have already been fulfilled and some which are yet to come
to fruition. But when you add the fact that the Inclusivist WCGIP proponents
are now saying that God planted hundreds of different trees, cultures all
over the world, that are not connected to the natural branch, tree and
Root, you have what can only be termed Replacement Theology on steroids!

Those Who Do Not Lead Christians to Maturityby Sandy SimpsonThis DVD is a message based on this
article.

The Scriptural definition of maturity is to learn to discern
truth from error so that the Christian will no longer be double minded,
blown about by every wind of teaching and by the schemes of crafty people.
But the problem today is that so few Christian teachers are feeding their
flock's solid food. They are serving up milk and, because of that,
people are starving. Yet they often don't even know they have been on a
starvation diet. Amos 8:11 "The days are coming," declares the
Sovereign Lord, "when I will send a famine through the land - not
a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words
of the Lord."

"... and all liars"by Sandy SimpsonThis DVD is a message based on this
article.

Lying is a problem for all people (Ps. 116:11).
We are all sinners (Rom. 3:23). Those of us who are Christians are
"sinners saved by grace" (Eph. 2:8) indwelt by the Holy Spirit in our "new
self" (Col. 3:10). But we still live in our "old self" which we must "put
off" (Eph. 4:20-25) by taking up our cross daily and following Christ (Luke
9:23). The difference between unbelievers and those who are truly
born again is that believers no longer "practice sin" (1 John 3:9, see
my Bible study on 1 John!) They have the indwelling Holy Spirit (Rom.
8:11) who convicts them when they lie (John 16:8). True believers then
repent (1 John 1:9) and go on to "practice righteousness" (1 John 2:29)
with the Lord's help. The unregenerate, the false brothers, or those
who have fallen away (Gal. 5:4, Mark 4:17), practice lying. They
practice a lifestyle of lying because their consciences are seared (1 Tim.
4:2) and the Holy Spirit, when convicting them, cannot break through the
hardness of their unrepentant hearts (Eph. 4:17-19, Heb. 3:13).

Four Books That the Enemy Has Used To Corrupt
Christianityby Sandy SimpsonThis DVD is a message based on this
article.

The four books that have changed the church by giving
an introduction to the false teachings of the New Apostolic/Latter Rain
(NAR), the Emerging Church/Contemplative/Catholic Mysticism (EC), pragmatic
Church Growth (CG) methodologies of C. Peter Wagner, Robert Schuller and
Peter Drucker, and the teachings of the World Christian Gathering on Indigenous
People (WCGIP) are as follows:

Surprised by the Power of the Spirit by Jack Deer, Celebration
of Discipline by Richard Foster, Purpose Driven Church by Rick Warren &
Etnerity In Their Hearts by Don Richardson.

These four books were widely read by Christians
from virtually every denominational background before their ramifications
and the movements they would spawn were known. They lay error alongside
truth so were considered not to be a threat to churches. Therefore
these books then became part of the consciousness of many Christians and
churches, thereby laying the basis for the introduction of the modern day
false teachings of the NAR, EC, CG and WCGIP that have become part of the
landscape of Christendom today.

Night Marchers and UFOs on the Big Island by Sandy SimpsonThis DVD is a message based on this
article.

With the resurgence of the old religion of Hawaii and
the continual invocation of Pelé and other "deities" for years in
the secular culture and even in churches with regards to worshipping 'Io,
is it any wonder that those beings are beginning to manifest again?
In a story called "Night
Marchers" on the Kawaihae site and in a YouTube
video on the same subject, eyewitnesses claim all kinds of sightings
that they think are the warriors, ancestors and demi-gods of Hawaii coming
back. Interestingly the
first book the Hawaiian Heritage site recommends in its "Suggested
Reading" list is "Perpetuated
in Righteousness" by Daniel Kikawa that we reviewed in our book "Idolatry
In Their Hearts" by Sandy Simpson and Mike Oppenheimer. Since Kikawa
claims that 'Io is the True God and one that the Hawaiians worshipped in
secret, we have to wonder if Kikawa also thinks 'Io is showing up in these
night marches? Since YWAM, Aloha Ke Akua and Hilo New Hope participated
in worshipping 'Io at the "edge of Hale-ma'uma'u Crater" it sounds like
they have all been inviting the old "gods" to return to Hawaii.

"They Will Believe The Lie"by Sandy SimpsonThis DVD is a message based on this
article.

I am doing a Bible study right now on what I would call
"renewing our minds". It is based on this verse:

Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world,
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able
to test and approve what God's will is - his good, pleasing and perfect
will.

The only way to renew our minds is to believe on the Lord
Jesus Christ, confess our sins, and be saved, then to study the written
Word and allow the indwelling Holy Spirit to teach us. Our minds
are corrupted by virtue of the sin nature and what we have learned in life
because our filters are off. I gave an illustration of straining coconut
to make coconut milk. If you use a 1 inch screen everything will
pass through. Even if you use a quarter inch screen you will get
mostly coconut meat in your milk. You have to use a fine screen in
order to separate the milk from the leftover. Our filters are off
and the first thing God begins to do is correct our worldview, because
if your worldview is off you will not understand God's reality. We
need to learn to see things from His perspective. This is why I started
this study by going back to an original problem.

2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 The coming of the lawless one
will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays
of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, and all the
ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because
they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends
them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so
that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted
in wickedness.

This has always been an interesting passage to me for
a few different reasons. What is "the lie" that is talked about here
in verse 9 and 11? What are the ways that "wickedness deceives those
who are perishing" and how long has this been going on or does this only
begin to happen at the coming of the lawless one? In what way does
"the lie" cause those who do not believe the truth to "delight in wickedness"?

The "Indigenous People's" (IPM) or "First Nations" movement
is an unbiblical movement teaching heresies and doctrines of demons. It
is being spread worldwide by YWAM, Don Richardson, John Dawson, Richard
Twiss, Terry LeBlanc, Daniel Kikawa and many other adherents. The
IPM or World Christian Gathering On Indigenous People is full of the false
teachings of the Third Wave, New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), Word-Faith,
Dominionism, Latter Rain and many other false theological systems.
But it does have it's own distinctives that are driven by the works of
Daniel Kikawa, Richard Twiss, and Don Richardson in particular. They
are teaching Christians to "redeem" their cultures by worshipping their
former gods, pretending they are YHWH.

There are a number of the leadership of the Emerging
Church (EC) who do not believe that the Bible is the highest authority
for the Christian faith. Most do not believe that the Bible is inerrant
in the original manuscripts and many do not acknowledge that the Bible
is our highest revelation. Yet this is a core doctrine over which
true believers and false brethren must separate. Those who try to poke
holes in Sola Scriptura make excuses like (1) we need to reinterpret the
Bible through the lens of postmodern culture and religion (2) the Bible
never uses the words "Sola Scriptura" therefore it is not a Biblical concept
(3) there is new revelation for the church through the Holy Spirit apart
from what is written and the precepts of the Bible and (4) the Bible just
doesn't address our postmodern situation therefore we cannot rely on it
for the truth and answers for our problems today. I will prove that
all the above arguments, and more, from EC leaders and others is exactly
what they are teaching. I will give you quotes from their teachings,
videos and books. The postmodern church and its "movements" are abandoning
Sola Scriptura in their rush to be like the Roman Catholic Church, which
takes its authority from a mix of Scripture and tradition.

"As a result the Church, to whom the transmission and
interpretation of Revelation is entrusted, "does not derive her certainty
about all revealed truths from the holy Scriptures alone. Both Scripture
and Tradition must be accepted and honored with EQUAL sentiments of devotion
and reverence." (Roman Catholic Catechism, Given October 11, 1992, the
thirtieth anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council,
in the fourteenth year of my Pontificate. Page 31).

Updated DVD!The Question Of Dominionby Sandy SimpsonThis DVD is a message based on this article: The
Question Of Dominion.

I am writing this article as an apologetic against
the Third Wave, Latter Rain, Word of Faith and Reformed Theology teachings
that the Church is to rise up and take over the systems of government,
businesses and every other aspect of life. "See, the problem is, is that
Satan has had too much of his way in our society because he has a government!
And the only way to overthrow a government is with a government.
It won't happen otherwise. So therefore the government of the church
has to get into place in the extended church just like we do have it very
well in place, we haven't reached our goal yet ..." (Transcript of
C. Peter Wagner, Arise Prophetic Conference, Gateway Church, San Jose,
CA, 10-10-2004) Wagner has substituted the "government of the church" for
the coming government of Jesus Christ in the Millennial Kingdom.
Wagner is "Kingdom Now" while the Bible teaches "Kingdom Come". What I
wanted to do with this article is put the issue of dominion to rest by
studying the definition the Bible gives to dominion and ruling authority.
When we look at the subject we can easily ascertain what is going on today
and what God requires of the Church.

The Bible lays out the definitions of both an overseer
(under shepherd) and a hireling. John 10:11-13 I am the good
shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. But he that
is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth
the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth
them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling,
and careth not for the sheep. (KJV) 1 Tim. 3:1-3 Here
is a trustworthy saying: If anyone sets his heart on being an overseer,
he desires a noble task. Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband
of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able
to teach, not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome,
not a lover of money. (NIV) Titus 1:7-13 Since an overseer
is entrusted with God's work, he must be blameless, not overbearing, not
quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest
gain. Rather he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is
self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined. He must hold firmly to
the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage
others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it. For there are
many rebellious people, mere talkers and deceivers, especially those of
the circumcision group. They must be silenced, because they are ruining
whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach - and that
for the sake of dishonest gain. Even one of their own prophets has said,
"Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons." This testimony
is true. Therefore, rebuke them sharply, so that they will be sound in
the faith. (NIV) A hireling does not really care about being a watchman,
but is more concerned with protecting his reputation, position and income.
A true watchman will guard the flock against wolves from within (Acts 20:30)
and without (Acts 20:29) no matter the cost to his reputation, position
or income. Following is a little quiz you can take to see if you are a
true Biblical under shepherd as a leader in your church, are becoming a
hireling, or are one now.

Too many churches today are allowing music to be used
in their services that is not glorifying to the Lord and can actually be
a hindrance to the teaching of sound doctrine. Pastors and leaders should
be using their leadership role to test what is being played and sung in
their churches. Though some are quick to test preaching and teaching from
their pulpits, many ignore the music being used in the same services. This
is a tragic mistake. Music is a powerful medium. It is something that effects
deeply the body, mind and emotions. It is a proven fact that music often
stays with a person far longer than what is taught or preached. Songs roam
around in our heads, especially if the melody appeals to us. What is often
overlooked is the serious impression music makes on people, and the teaching
they are getting over and over again as they allow the song to repeat in
their minds and on their lips. Music teaches things much more subtly yet
sometimes far more effectively. That's why the lyrical content of music
in the church, as well as its effect on the spiritual lives of those who
perform and listen, should be vigorously examined by the leaders of the
church. This is a 2-DVD set.

2 Cor. 13:5 Examine yourselves to see whether
you are in the faith; test yourselves.Do you not realise that Christ Jesus is in you - unless,
of course, you fail the test?

People who call themselves followers of Christ or "Christians"
and claim they are born again must believe certain things. If they
do not then they fail the test of faith. They can claim they are
born again all they want and "once saved, always saved" but if they fail
the test of faith there is no eternal security. Only God knows who
will be saved, from beginning to end, because of His foreknowledge and
omniscience (Rom. 8:29, 1 Pet. 1:2). God did not make an arbitrary
judgment about who would be saved and who would not. His Spirit is
given to those He foreknew, when convicted of sin by His Holy Spirit, would
choose to believe and commit themselves to Jesus Christ. We are not
God and we do not have His omniscience. Therefore, according to Paul,
we must be sure our belief system is in the right place once our eyes have
been opened to the Truth. I am not saying we do not have assurance
of salvation, but our assurance comes not only because of His Atonement
and promises of salvation but from our continuing in the Faith, which is
always the Biblical criteria. Those who would be Bible teachers must teach
according to the whole counsel of God's Word. Let me be clear. There
is only one way to salvation. That is by grace alone through
faith alone in Christ alone. I will deal with a few of those issues
following, but it is important to recognize that being saved is not just
a matter of believing that Jesus lived, or that He was a man, or simply
giving mental ascent to His existence in whatever form.

"Blasphemizing" The Bibleby Sandy SimpsonThis DVD is a message based on this
article.

I am going to go over an article I wrote back in 2006
in preparation for the book I wrote with Mike Oppenheimer called 'Idolatry
in Their Hearts'. This book is an apologetic against the false teachings
of the World Christian Gathering on Indigenous People movement, the Emerging
Church and the New Apostolic Reformation which got their ideas from the
book "Eternity in Their Hearts" by Don Richardson. At the time that
book came out no one really saw the dangerous ideas Richardson was promoting.
All they would have had to do was look at the two subtitles of that book
to understand the implications. The first subtitle in the 1981 edition
read: The Untold Story of Christianity among Folk Religions of Ancient
People. Those who read this book found some interesting cross-cultural
ideas but apparently missed the false premise of the book starting with
the subtitle. How could Christianity be "among folk religions" where the
Gospel had not been preached (Rom. 10:14-15)? At that time Christians who
read the book were apparently satisfied that, though there was some questionable
material present, it made for an interesting discussion on how to do cross-cultural
ministry. The subtitle it has today, which was first published in 1984,
is as follows: Startling Evidence of Belief in the One True God in Hundreds
of Cultures Throughout the World. This should have been a red flag
for many Christians but then, who reads subtitles? But how could
the "One True God" be known to Gentiles who did "not know God".

Resources For Pastorsincluding"Good English Bible Translations"by Sandy SimpsonThis DVD is a message based on this
article.

I was talking with a pastor after a Wednesday night service
and he mentioned that I said I had done an article comparing English Bible
translations. He called me up later and asked me to come back and
present the contents of that article I sent out in about 2002 to my mailing
list for the Pacific Waves Newsletter which, unfortunately, I can no longer
afford to publish and mail. However an archive of past issues of
that newsletter can be found here.
In that article I detailed a number of good and bad resources for pastors
including Bible translations, concordances, commentaries, Bible dictionaries,
etc. I present an edited version of part of that article on this
DVD, particularly dealing with English Translations of the Bible.
Translation is a very detailed endeavor and should only be undertaken by
those with a proper education in that subject and a sound doctrinal background.
I read a few books on that subject and it helped me understand the complexities
involved. Hebrew is a rich language so it is hard to distill one
Hebrew word down to one English word. Greek is a very technical language
and it is also not easy to translate. This is why it is imperative
to use the good English translations out there for comparison along with
a good concordance and Bible dictionary.

A TALE OF TWO KINGDOMSKingdom Now or Kingdom Come?by Sandy SimpsonThis DVD is a message based on this
article.

There are two kingdoms being taught in many churches today.
Teaching about one of the kingdoms is on the decline while the other is
being promoted all over the place. I am warning Christians that they
need to check out who is using the word "kingdom", the books they have
been reading and recommend on building "the kingdom", the people they have
been hanging out with at conferences, and what they mean by "the kingdom".

A Whole Lot Of Wishful Thinking These Days!by Sandy SimpsonThis DVD series is a teaching based on this
article.

In this DVD series I want to detail a number of beliefs
people have these days that have no basis in Scripture. I am going
to roam all over the map, so to speak, and try to give fairly short answers
on a number of topics and also give you useful links to articles that will
help you deal with any particular issue. It is truly amazing how
many false ideas people cling to without giving a thought to what the Bible
has to say on the subject.

Signs Of Apostasy In The Churches In The

as a follow up to the signs of the times in the world.

From Church To Emerging Church DVD Seriesby Sandy SimpsonThe issue of the Emerging Church and it's introduction
into many churches and mission organizations has reached a critical point.
Many do not undersand what is being leavened into churches by the EC leadership.
Many would be shocked to know their belief systems involve Universalism,
New Age, defense of postmodernism, Interfaithism, and many other false
doctrines. In order to reach out to this generation the EC leadership
is proposing a whole new "map" to deal with what they perceive is a lack
of understanding on the part of the churches on how to communicate.
EC proponants believe the "scripture" for today is evolving and must change
in order to reach postmoderns.

Idolatry In Their HeartsLandmark Book!by Sandy Simpson & Mike
OppenheimerDoes having eternity in your heart mean that you know
God and are His child? Could Gentile cultures understand the Gospel from
the stars? Did God create man's cultures? Has God always been in the process
of redeeming cultures from the time of Babel by placing in them a true
revelation of Himself? Is there the worship of YHWH in all cultures and
religions through the names of supreme beings? Have all cultures
always had a way to make things right between them and God? These questions
and many more are answered in this book that addresses the false teachings
of The New Apostolic Reformation regarding missiological methods as being
carried out by many agencies including the World Christian Gathering on
Indigenous People, YWAM, and many Bible societies.

Lessons In ForgivenessGreat Study!by Sandy SimpsonThrough the years I have been
presented with many opportunities to forgive. Sometimes the situation was
so severe that it took me some time to forgive and start the process of
healing for myself, and eventually for others. I learned that a Christian
needs to forgive other people even if they have not repented of their sins.
That can be really hard if we let it be hard. But if we give our burdens
over to the Lord, He will carry them and that frees us up to treat other
people with love, compassion, and be in the right frame of mind and heart
to set them up for reconciliation with Jesus Christ. That does not mean
we tolerate their sin. We simply forgive them for what they have done to
us, whether perceived or real, and move on to looking for ways to redeem
them. We can then present to them the "truth in love" even when we have
to rebuke them.

Finish The Race!Go On To Maturity!by Sandy Simpsonwas written to help believers
to realize the absolute necessity of growing to maturity in Christ. Many
churches are urging Christians to push aside discernment in favor of experience.
It is our hope that this book will inspire many believers to fight the
good fight, finish the race, and keep the faith (2 Tim. 4:7).

The New Apostolic Reformation - What is
it and where is it going?Companion Book!by Sandy Simpsonis now available in book form. This is the DVD script
plus commentary by Sandy Simpson. The commentary of the DVD series is not
in the book, but there are many more quotes available than in the video
series. Good reference material. Also available on CD-ROM.

Letters To The ChurchTimely!by Sandy Simpsonis a fitting manual for the Revelation Christian.
All the precepts are in the seven letters in Revelation 1:9 - 3:22 to help
us keep the faith, stay in sound doctrine, and reach out to those who are
perishing. I hope and pray that this book will help
the reader to be an "overcomer".

Articles
about false prophets, false teachers, false apostles other "snake oil salesmen",
and movements that are going away from Scriptural principles. This section
holds a wide variety of articles on personalities and movements. Some teach
unbiblical doctrines, some teach heresy. Some are false prophets. Some
are all of the above. Please read the articles before you just go off angry.

Read this devotional thought, written around
a half century ago, for the reason we should continue to say today "to
the word and to the testimony"! "But there were false prophets
also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you,
who privily shall bring in damnable heresies ..." 2 Pet. 2:1

(2)False
Prophecyby Dean & Laura VanDruff, 1996
"As spiritual adultery increases in the church, false prophets will
flourish as highly sought after speakers, and as Christians accept more
of these false teachings indiscriminately, many will fall away, believing
in a phony "faith". Since we have been warned, it might be wise to seek
insight into how to discern false prophecy - what are false prophets likely
to say? What are they like?"

(3)The Kansas
City Prophetsby Bob Hunter, 1995
An expose' of the Kansas City Prophets including Paul Cain, Bob Jones,
John Paul Jackson and other false prophets. Their prophesies catapulted
the Toronto "Blessing" and subsequent Pensacola "Outpouring" into existence.
These men are revered as prophets by these movements who view themselves
as Joel's Army.

(4)False
Prophetsby Dr. Kenneth Johnson, 1994
"When a false prophet is caught he will say “OK. But I’ve repented
and the LORD has restored me to the office of the prophet or ‘The Prophetic’.
You have to obey me again now.” This is why the LORD said you shall never
be afraid of (listen to) him again. Yes, the LORD will forgive him if he
repents. He may become a fine Bible teacher. The LORD is merciful, so that
you will not be constantly fooled by false prophets, Because He will never
use him in that way again. "

(5)John
Kilpatrick Of Brownsville AOG, Pensacola, FL Is Now OFFICIALLY A False
Prophet!July 4, 1997 has come and gone and Hank Hanegraaff
is still alive and his ministry is doing fine. Here
is how Hanegraaff responded to this ugly false prophecy. Brothers and sisters
in Christ -- now is the time to decide. For those of you attending Brownsville
"Outpouring" meetings in Pensacola ... are you going to continue to willingly
sit under the teaching and prophecy of this man in this church or allow
people under your accountability to do so? Is the Assemblies of God going
to take scripturally appropriate action in this matter? Here is their official
response when asked recently to comment on the Pensacola "Outpouring" in
a
letter from Thomas E. Trask, General Superintendant of the Assmeblies
Of God. What about the rest of the false teaching and prophecy of this
"counterfeit" revival movement? Check out my compilation of quotes in an
article called "By Your Words" - Quotes From Third Wave Leaders" for just
a small dose of the false teaching from the leaders of this movement. It's
time to take a stand on this matter, fellow Christians! Time to be counted.
No more wishy-washy "well, there are good and bad things in this movement
but it's basically good" or "I'd rather see the devil and flesh manifested
in church than nothing discernable happening at all". This is not an issue
that can be "balanced" away by a good old American sense of "fair play".
We as Christians are to hold to the objective truth of God's Word, or else
we cannot call ourselves Christians. It's time for the true body of Christ
to be heard on this matter. Where is the outcry? Where is the indignation
that this man has dared to make false prophesies about the demise of a
fellow Christian and attribute them to a conversation he had with God Almighty?
Has the Christian community been silenced in fear of being labeled "mockers"
by Steve Hill in his book "The God Mockers" when, in fact, all Christians
should hold to and defend sound doctrine as did the Bereans when they tested
what was being taught to them? Where is the disgust at the fact that Kilpatrick
made a deceitful apology denying that he prophesied and published it all
over the Internet? Where is the outrage that he now continues to spread
false stories in his church about Hank Hanegraaff? Where is the ire of
God's people when this man dared to presume to order God around by speaking
false "proclamations" "into God's ears"? What is your response, people
of God? We had better start cleaning house before thousands of children
and youth are exposed to the ugly manifestations, deceitful testimonies,
false teaching and false prophecy of this "counterfeit" revival movement!

(6) Benny Hinn
and Necromancy (Talking to the Dead) by Joseph R. Chambers, 1997
Benny Hinn "stated clearly that he had seen saints ("dead saints")
and that they talked to him, gave him instructions, and told him they were
praying for him. This is clearly necromancy or communication with the dead.
He went further to state that his necromancy was Biblically supported by
Jesus Christ’s experience on the Mount of Transfiguration when Moses and
Elijah talked to the Lord."

(7) Kenneth
Hagin by Rev. Robert S. Liichow, 1997
"Literally hundreds of thousands of people are being influenced
by this man's heretical teachings, which are now being propagated by his
son and grandson and thousands of Rhema graduates in thousands of Rhema
churches around the world. Brother Hagin has duplicated himself thousands
of times over and his error is widespread. "

(8) Marilyn
Hickey by Rev. Robert S. Liichow, 1997
"From her school (and these others) a new generation of Word of
Faith ministries is being grown, with more and more error and heresy. Remember
heresy does not get better, it does not improve with age, like a fine wine.
It continues to drift further and further into darkness. The only way heresy
is stopped in the Church is by godly people standing up for the truth and
being willing to swim upstream against what is popular. I pray you are
I will be some of these people."

(and do not let him lay his hands on you)."

(10) The Challenging
Counterfeit - A Study Of Spiritualism by Raphael Gasson,The Assemblies
Of God Publishing House, Copywrite 1996
This is a book about Spiritualism and Spiritism by a man who was miraculously
saved out of that movement. This is the last chapter of this book. Notice
the parallels to what is going on in the Third Wave, counterfeit revival
movement of today -- in the Toronto “Blessing” and Pensacola “Outpouring”
churches and leaders that have received “the anointing”. It appears that
the enemy has not changes his tactics too much, only that today they are
being evidenced in churches that formerly considered themselves to be doctrinally
sound. Connections to Spiritualism/Spiritism have been documented in the
faith healers of this same time period of the early 1900s, such as William
Branham and Kathryn Kuhlman. Other more recent
individuals have been linked to necromancy such as Benny
Hinn. The same techniques and manifestations are also now present in
the counterfeit revival, including Indian-style chanting, visions where
dead “Christians” appear and give advice, and ugly degrading "manifestations"
of the “spirit”. Test the spirits and judge for yourself where this “new
revelation” and “anointing” is coming from. This is an old book and may
be out of print. However, it is still listed with the Library Of Congress
and the new publisher is Logos International of Plainfield, NJ, 1979. Notice
the original publisher was the Assemblies of God Publishing House. Ironic,
in view of the Brownsville A/G in Pensacola, FL."

(12) TBN Replies to
Charge of Death Threat by Bob Hunter, 1997"In response to numerous inquiries, Trinity
Broadcasting is sending out a standard reply to the charge that Paul Crouch
issued a death threat against the enemies of TBN. However, did they address
the issue, or avoid it by set up a strawman argument? The text of their
reply, including a gif file of a standard reply, is included, along with
my comments."

(13) Michael
Brown's False Prophecy by Bob Hunter & Debra Bouey, 1998"One of the foremost theologians and spokemen
for the Messianic Jewish Congregation (MJC) has informed us of an embarrassing
prophecy given by Dr. Brown. Given the international nature of his ministry,
this spokesman wishes to remain anonymous, but reader inquiries related
to any cited material will be forwarded to him and he will reply privately

(14) The
Final Quest: A Review and Critique by Eric S. Weiss, 1998"On balance, however, I think that there is
more in this book (by Rick Joyner) that readers should be warned against
than encouraged to accept, and I believe that the objections and concerns
I express here can be sufficiently documented from the book (and from Scripture,
where appropriate) so that my criticisms won't seem unwarranted or unreasonable.
Since I am primarily writing about what I perceive to be problems or errors,
much here will be negative. As I've mentioned, the Christian buying public
is already saying many good things about this book. The reader will have
to decide if such positive acceptance is warranted."

(15) Kenneth Hagin and
the Spirit of the Serpent by Joseph R. Chambers, D.D., 1998"The final chapter of Mr. Hagin is being written
even as I write this article. Our video
by this title tells the whole truth. The serpent spirit has grown in his
teaching and methods until I believe the real source is being made manifest.
He just conducted a Kenneth Hagin Holy Ghost meeting in Chesterfield, MO.
The meeting was held from October 12th to October 24th. On the third night
he began to manifest this spirit with his tongue sticking out and wiggling
like a serpent’s tongue. He also began to hiss. On Thursday night, as he
began to hiss, many of the people began to slither down out of their seats
feet first. Some of the people would hiss back at him. The emotional response
of the audience is indescribable. Kenneth Hagin and many of the people
became insanely "drunk." (This link

(16) How
can we discern false teachers? by Biblical Studies Foundation,
1998"There are many godless guides who would lead
us to the wide gate and the way which leads to destruction. These false
teachers are not only blind themselves, but they lead others to destruction
with them. It is the Lord Who will pronounce the final verdict and Who
will sentence the false prophets to everlasting torment."

(18) Questions
And Answers: The Televangelist Investigationsby Ole AnthonyPaul calls for us to "Prove all things; hold
fast to that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil" (I Thes.
5:21,22). The Christian message should be able to withstand any scrutiny.
Believers are called to "try the spirits, whether they are of God, because
many false prophets are gone out into the world" (I John 4:1). The TV evangelists
have barged into our living rooms with their broadcasts and turned the
spotlight on themselves. They have demanded attention, so we're giving
it to them.

(19) What Benefit Is The
"Prophetic Movement"? by Inner-City Christian Discernment Ministry,
1998Ask yourself the following questions (or ask
a prophet if you know one): Has any restored prophet brought any
divine insight into serious theological issues which have divided the Church?
NO. Has any restored prophet brought unity to the Body of Christ due to
their insights? NO. Has any restored prophet ever foretold anything of
great consequence to the Church or community (warning of terrorist bombings,
stock market crashes,assassinations, etc.)? NO. Has any restored prophet
been called upon to locate criminals, or locate missing children, or to
solve crimes? NO. Why Not?

(20) Kenneth
Hagin - False Prophet by Rev. Robert S. Liichow, 1998
"Mr. Hagin has long been touted as a prophet by many within the
charismatic movement for years. Without a doubt, all people within
the Word of Faith Movement look to Mr. Hagin as a genuine prophet of God.
The facts seem to indicate otherwise! Here are three examples of
Hagin's prophetic ability - all of which failed to come to pass."

(21) Sick Healers?
by Rev. Robert S. Liichow, 1998
"Probably the saddest "cut" of all is the FACT that the majority
of what the Word of Faith/Prophetic Movement charismaniacs teach does not
even work in their own sorry lives. I do not deny that the Lord our God
is a Healer - - - but He does so according to His sovereign will. We, His
children DO NOT command healing to "be."

(22) Teach Healing?
by Rev. Robert S. Liichow, 1998
"Got this in the mail a little while back and I thought it would
be interesting for people to see that these folks at Toronto believe they
can teach you how to heal the sick. This is nothing new, because
the "Happy Hunters" have been holding How to Heal the Sick Seminars for
many many years. In fact, my wife and I attended one in Ohio, and
got to work directly with the Hunters. Can't you see the Apostle Paul holding
a healing seminar in Ephesus (I can't)."

Hagin - Another Failed Prophecy by Contenders, 1999
"Another Failed Prophecy! Kenneth Hagin Prophecy For October In
July Kenneth Hagin issued a prophecy which indicates that the great revival
everyone has been waiting for will begin in October after "that which has
hindered shall be taken out of the way." Does this mean the removal of
the critics, the rapture of the church, the "cleansing" that New Agers
have spoken of? You decide."

Mark Of False Teachers: Twisting The Scriptures by The Watchman
Expositor, 1995
"The apostle Peter wrote
describing Paul's epistles, "...in which are some things hard to be understood,
which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest,
as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction" (2 Peter
3:16). There are many individual powerful practices which characterize
the methods of deception employed by false teachers, but the twisting of
Scripture is universal among them."

(27) Beware
The New Prophets an extract from the book by Bill Randles, 1999
Influential 'prophets' in
the US are claiming to be an end-time super-army for the Lord. But their
'prophesies' are often wrong. Pentecostal pastor
Bill Randles investigates . . . "One consistent characteristic of the
new prophets is their insistence that the New Testament prophets do not
have to be subjected to the tests of Deuteronomy (13.1-3 and 18.22)." You

Psychics & The Charismatic New Waveby Joseph Chambers, 1999
"In
many congregations Biblical truth has been treated lightly while social

the "spirit of discernment." Those who do not have a firm and conscious
hold on Biblical values and Biblical truth will not be able to survive."

(30) Trinity
Broadcasting Network Teachersby The Contenders, 1999
"The
Word-Faith movement is far more dangerous than any of the cults because
they have infiltrated the churchand
leave the distinct impression with the secular world that their brand of
"Christianity" truly represents Christianity.1 In truth, it represents
the worst teachings ever to go under the name "Christian." It is unfortunate
that Christian leaders are so afraid of Paul Crouch that they won't stand
up to him, but continue to broadcast their programs on TBN or commend TBN's
work. If you are a TBN supporter who thinks people like myself are causing
division, read what these people say carefully, then askyourself,
"What would a non-Christian think if TBN was his first introduction to
Christianity and he heard this stuff?" On October 29th, 1999, on a CNN
Chat session, Matt Crouch told me that doctrine was not important."

(31) How
Do We Discern False Teachers?by Biblical Studies Foundation, 1999
"Matthew
7:13-23 - False prophets are particularly dangerous because they appear
to be genuine. They seemingly have the credentials of authority. What are
these credentials? Jesus calls them ‘sheep’s clothing’ (verse 15). The
outward forms would incline one to believe these false prophets to be reliable
guides. They may wear a distinctive garb which sets them apart as leaders.
They may have the title ‘reverend.’ They may be men who hold positions
of religious leadership. They may well have graduated from a divinity school.
Indeed, they might even be seminary professors. Judging on the basis of
external indications we might wrongly assume them to be reliable guides,
but we must not evaluate them on such external evidence."

(33) P.S.
- Beware Of False Prophetsby Paul Becker, A Voice In The Wilderness,
2000
Taken
from Romans 16. "These who -claim- to be "uniting" everybody are actually
the ones -CAUSING- the "divisions". What "division" is this? Dividing people
AWAY FROM God's Word. Away from God's Doctrine. Doctrine is what brings
"unity" to Believers. (1Cor1:10) So when they throw God's Doctrine out
the window, they are dividing God's people."

(34) Anti-Spirits
And False Teachingby Shirley Ann Miller from the book, "Anti-Spirits
and False Teaching" and Lampholder Ezine series on "Mind Control "Lampholder
Publications
"God
gave every person on the face of the Earth "a mind." When you suppress
or suspend the thought process you essentially disconnect the "whole" person.
God made mankind to interact with Him by a renewal of mind (the soul),
spirit, and body. When God speaks to us through His Holy Spirit, He speaks
through our spirit to the mind, but the mind (upon being renewed in the
Spirit) confirms the Holy Spirit promptings and aligns with the Word of
God. The supernatural receives "spiritual" messages that manifest themselves
from the spiritual realm into the physical through "the senses and the
passive mind." If you disconnect your thought process, you open yourself
to receive whatever supernatural, spiritual manifestations happen to be
manifesting their presence at the time, and by opening yourself up to anything
but the Holy Spirit, you WILL find yourself dealing with "other spirits."
Remember: Always investigate the source and test the spirits "...to see
whether they are of God...(1 John 4:1). As the anti-spirits plot in the
air and work on earth against God, believers must continually fight back
with spiritual power through prayer and intercession."

Heal Thyself! by Sandy Simpson, 11/14/00
"A good subtitle for this article might be "Practice What You Preach!"
There is no doubt that God can and does heal people today. But the
false doctrines of the Word-Faith Movement about "declaring" healing, "name-it-and-claim-it",
etc. have been proven to be lies by the very people who sell this deceit.
If you don't know about where these famous "faith healers" go when they
need healing, you may be surprised. Do the math. Be a Berean.

(50) False
Teachers: Wolves In Sheep's Clothing by Todd Uebeles, 2003
All throughout the New Testament, right up until the end of Revelation,

and what are the heresies they will introduce?

Gospel, and Master of Gonvil and Caius College, In Cambridge, London, Printed
in 1666, Philadelphia, Reprinted by Benjamin Franklin and D. Hall in 1760
This section, from the above booklet printed by Benjamin Franklin,
serves as a history lesson on false prophets and false teachers that we
need to heed today. Why take to heart William Dell and his exegesis
of the Word of God? Because what he described is EXACTLY what we
are seeing today being played out on TBN, CBN, the NAE, and in the New

There is a new kind of seeker today – not a seeker of truth, but

of false teachers who are quite willing to give them what their itching

He was once a rising star on TBN, and someone whom Oral Roberts himself

a “revelation” from God about hell, and after he started to preach this
revelation, things took a turn for the worse. What was this “new revelation”?

Those who endorse, promote and are involved (TBN) with these soothsayers
and charlatans are partakers of the same evil deeds in leading people to
hell knowingly or unknowingly. They as well will be held accountable to
God for choosing to serve Satan in this manner. They too need to seek God's

(65) Three
Fatal Errors Common Among False Teachers by Mike Gendron, Proclaiming
the Gospel, 9/08, PDF
Since we are now living in the age of religious tolerance and ecumenical
unity, there are some people who will immediately call this article unloving
and divisive. Others will ask, "What right do you have to judge another
religion?" The answer is given in Scripture. All God-fearing people are
called to make right judgments, judgments that have already been establishedby the objective principles of God's Word John 7:24). There may
be nothing more important than warning people who are being deceived about
their eternal destiny. If we do not lovingly confront them with God's Gospel,
they may never know how to escape the eternal fire of God's punishment.
Clearly, the most unloving thing we can do is to ignore them and let them
continue down the road to destruction. For this reason, I amalways willing to offend people with the offense and exclusivity
of the Gospel in the hopes that God may grant some of them repentance leading
to a knowledge of the truth 2 Tim. 2: 25). Let us look at three fatal errors
of false prophets and how to handle them.

(68) "He's
No Sinner, He's a False Prophet" by Walk With The Word, 4/09
Matthew 18:15-20 This, my friends, is one of the most misquoted,
misused passages of Scripture in the New Testament. And it’s driving me
crazy. This is the favorite passage of choice by the false prophets and
false teachers among the church and because the sheep have so little understanding
of Scripture, they go right along with its gross misrepresentation, often
repeating the ill-conceived interpretation offered.

(70) False Teachers ... REVISITED!
by Sandy Simpson. ACT, 9/03/09
I often receive requests to present updated false teachings and
false prophecies by the myriad of heretics out there. We do try to
keep up with all the latest. But I have to remind people that those
we have exposed as false on our site have not repented of what they have
already done in the past, which is why they are still on our site.
So what they are doing now has no relevance as to whether or not they are
now to be considered a true Biblical teacher. If and when they repent,
that is renounce their false teachings and false prophecies, make restitution
to those they have deceived, and begin to teach sound Biblical doctrine
we will give you that information. As of now NONE of the people we
have exposed have repented of their Latter Rain, Word of Faith teachings,
heretical practices or their false prophecies. But in the interest
of helping you to respond to a person who inquires by saying: "Those articles
are old and you need newer materials" well, here is some newer stuff you
can add to the pile. For you and me this really makes no difference,
but for those who are living in deception perhaps it might demolish one
of their arguments against the truth. I will only deal with quotes from
2007 through 2009 in this article. I will not go into detailed analysis
of these newer quotes in order to save space, but will present a short
comment and link you elsewhere for the detailed report, if there is one.

(71) "X-Men"
by Pastor Larry DeBruyn, 9/24/09
So it's truly a sad day when we see those professing to know God
believing and behaving as if they do not. So it's significant to note that
the divine judgment was to begin in the sanctuary and then work its way
out through Jerusalem and the rest of the entire nation (Compare 1 Peter
4:17.). This order of judgment compelled Paul to command the congregation
at Rome: "Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions
and offenses contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid
them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their
own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the
simple" (Romans 16:17-18, KJV). But if we are to engage in such marking,
we ought to be reminded that the accompanying emotion ought to be one of
grief. Yet we ought also to be reminded that in the end those who refuse
to mark false teachers may not be marked by the Lord to be spared divine
judgment.

(72) God
is Light by Pastor Bill Randles, Believers In Grace Ministries,
9/23/09 - Read Part
1 & Part

John’s first epistle was written to restore the true knowledge of
God, to Christians whose faith had been undermined by an early form of
Gnosticism. A “Gnostic” is a Christian who claims a special, mystical knowledge
of God, which is unique to conventional Christians. Gnostics re-define
what it means to know God, what prayer is, how revelation is received,
who God is, what it means to be spiritual, etc. The effect is that so-called
“normal” Christians began to doubt their own knowledge and experience of
God.

(74) Making
God’s People Trust in a Lie… by Pastor Bill Randles, 4/21/10
It is happening all over again. In the church, as in the last days
of Judah, immediately preceding the devastation of the Babylonian captivity
and the destruction of the temple, Christians are being inoculated
to conviction and preparedness by the soothing Words of false prophets
like Hananiah.

(75) Points
to Ponder - Todd Bentley, Benny Hinn, Rick Joyner, and False Teachers
by Bud Press, Christian Research Service, 6/10/10
By their own doing, false teachers are plagued with contradictions,
which is a natural consequence to being double-minded. Gradually, false
teachers tell their stories and, at the same time, teach their followers
to believe in their dreams, visions, and revelations--despite the Biblical
warnings. And because many modern-day false prophets and false teachers
claim to see "Jesus" and have direct, verbal communication with God, their
words are slowly phased in as the word of God, while God's inspired written
words are phased out. As such, so-called "new revelations from God" spewed
from the mouths of false teachers today are likely to change into something
totally different tomorrow. Indeed, contradictions and double-mindedness
go hand in hand, both of which should prompt red flags of discernment.

Lifestyles: Lifestyles of The Rich and Infamous, Also Called Fleecing The
Flock by Carol Brooks, In Plain Sight, 2010
If you happen to be among those who think Christian leaders are
entitled to obscene amounts of money, visit the GFA (Gospel For Asia) page,
read the article then order their free book Revolution In World Missions
(No ‘love gift’ asked for). Then, in view of millions who have never heard
of Jesus, imagine how many souls an organization like GFA could save with
money wasted on antiques, jets, jewelry, fancy cars, wardrobes and watches.
Finally decide whether you want to help Benny Hinn buy another Rolex, or
help a missionary get a megaphone, some Bibles, a bicycle, a warm coat
or even a pair of shoes, all of which are desperately needed. Contrast
this with Marilyn Hickey Ministries that, not so long ago, asked if you
would “Love to mix travel with ministry?” Then list four points under the
heading “Are YOU ready to”. Point 1 says “Enjoy 5-star hotels in Jakarta
and Bali”. Point 4 says “Distribute tracts, food, and clothing to the needy
in the slums of Jakarta?” Huh?

(79) Minister
or Sinister?- How to know when your church has become a cultby
Preacher Bureau of Investigations, 11/5/10
Everything is about CONTROL. The main tools used to control
members are INTIMIDATION and MANIPULATION. The intimidation and manipulation
are very subtle and disguised with a false sense of love and concern.
It’s all a strategic COURTSHIP. Most people come to church with a NEED.
The need can be physical, emotional, financial, social, or spiritual. Having
that need puts a person in a very vulnerable state of mind and they are
searching for fulfillment of the need. CULT PASTORS are searching
for vulnerable people that they can control and manipulate.

(80) Harold Camping Strikes (Out) Again!
by Sandy Simpson, 12/5/10
Imagine my shock when I heard that Harold Camping was up to his
former tricks in predicting, using some kind of fancy numerology, that
Jesus Christ will return on May 21, 2011. I quickly thought about
how I would cancel my plane reservations to speak at a discernment conference.
I mean, if Jesus is coming back then there will no longer be a need to
expose false teachers because they will have met their demise along with
their leader. But then I realized, Camping is himself a false teacher
and so I thought I would write this article to use on my speaking trip
since I will be talking about his second failed prediction then.

(81) May
21, 2011 and the Harold Camping Cult "Prophecy" by Justin Edwards,
1/5/10
The world is not lacking in its number of cults who have attempted
to set dates for the return of Christ or the end of the world. Whether
drinking poisoned kool-aid to join the passing comet gods or merely predicting
dates for TEOTWAWKI (the-end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it), obviously these
have failed miserably - and for good, biblical reason. Despite the clear
truth of Scripture on these matters, false prophets such as Harold Camping
and his Family Radio cult continue to set dates for the end of all things.

(83) Portrait
of a False Prophet by Sharon Lindbloom, 1/16/11
During an email exchange a Latter-day Saint wrote, "You have continually
said that the 'LDS' church is led by a false prophet. Do you even have
the slightest idea who the prophet is right now? His name is Gordon B.
Hinckley, and HE IS A PROPHET OF GOD. You can't even sit there and tell
me that he is leading anyone astray -- he is a man of integrity beyond
your comprehension." I have encountered this sort of assertion many times.
People seem to think that a false prophet would have horns and bad teeth;
that he would be easily recognizable as evil. They think that if someone
is attractive or calls people to do "good" things, he must represent the
one true God. But what does the Bible say?

Wiles and the devastation of America in 2010: a muddied cup of prophecy
by End Time Delusion, 1/20/11
"Last 3 months of 2010 will be brutal for America. The storm that
will hit in the last 3 months of the year will not destroy America but
it will stagger and stun the nation. There will be a great disruption in
the nations commerce, communications, transportations and supply lines
that will impact America for years. Tell my people to use the first 6 months
of 2010 to prepare for the last 3 months. A year of bloodshed , violence,
terror and fear"…..my comment: I am unaware of any such event having occurred
in the U.S in 2010. Also, what was especially brutal about the last 3 months
of the year, that wasn’t in play during the first 9 months?

(85) It's
That Simple! by Pastor Anton Bosch, 2/1/11
We often get questions relating to some new teaching that a pastor

times the answer is very easy and very simple.

Reporter, Mail Online, 3/9/11
Most people like to push thoughts about the end of the world to
the back of their minds, hoping that the apocalypse, if it ever comes,
will be a long way off.But for one group of not-so happy campers, doomsday is a lot sooner...May
21 to be precise. According to the predictions of the Family Radio ministry,
on that date a massive earthquake will shake the world apart, littering
the ground with 'many dead bodies'.

Strikes Again - Harold Camping’s Family Radio Is At It Once More
by Jacob Prasch, 5/14/11
Not for the first time, false teacher and proven false prophet Harold
Camping and his frolicking band of religious lunatics and “Family Radio”
devotees are discrediting the Body of Christ with absurd doctrines and
false predictions. The date-setting for the return of Christ forbidden
by Jesus, hatred of all other churches and ministries aside from their
own, the hideous old crank cum heretical false prophet they have for a
guru and the absurd doctrines of this cultic and pathetic deceived brood
of supposed scripture-believing Christians of some warped description resembles
the Jehovah’s Witnesses and the World Wide Church of God of the late conniver
Herbert W. Armstrong.

False Doomsday Predictions To Discredit Christians by David Bay,

Preacher Harold Camping is at it again, setting a specific date
that the Rapture is going to occur. His advertising is warning people that
the End of the World, the Rapture of the Church, is going to occur May
21, 2011! Jesus told us 2,000 years ago to watch out for false religious

This Crosstalk looks at the reasons for Camping’s prediction that

upon Camping’s personal numerology, is bringing disgrace to the name of

idea that one day Christ will return.

Camping has said that Judgment Day will be on May 21, 2011. May 21,

(94) The
May 21 Fallout…by Bill Randles, Believers In Grace, 5/21/11
I believe that May 21, 2011 will prove to have been a watershed
day for millions of people, regardless of the fact that Jesus didn’t come
back to rapture His flock, and commence the judgment of the earth, as predicted
by Harold Camping. Evidently the calculations of the self-confessed life
long Bible student, and civil engineer didn’t quite add up. I hope you
don’t think I am being facetious about it, because there is nothing humorous
in this at all. In fact, I have no doubt that though things didn’t work
out as some anticipated, many lives will never be the same again because
of the fallout from this spiritual fiasco. The impact for many will stretch
into eternity.

(95) The
Latest: Harold Camping Predicts A New Date by Ken Silva, 5/24/11
It seems, rather than humbly admitting his error, Camping now speculates
he “misinterpreted the Bible” and rather than May 21st beginning “the end
of the world” supposedly we’re to believe that it was actually “the spiritual
beginning of the physical end” not too unlike the eschatology of the non-Christian
cult of the Jehovah’s Witnesses. Camping is quoted as dreaming: “Were
not changing a date at all; we’re just learning that we have to be a little
more spiritual about this,” he said in a rambling 90-minute radio
broadcast that was part sermon, part press conference. “But on Oct. 21,
the world will be destroyed. It won’t be five months of destruction. It
will come at once.”

(96) Doomsday
Datesetters 2012 by Gaylene Goodroad, Herescope, 6/14/11

(98) Faith
Healers and Dealers by Pastor Larry DeBruyn, 7/15/11
Look at it like this: a particular evangelist claims to possess
power from God to heal people. Then, we ask, why doesn’t he go to public
hospitals or physical rehab facilities and call the sick and the lame out
of their beds? If the pretend healer did, can you imagine the amazement
that would fall over all the nurses, doctors, workers and other patients?
So why don’t the charismatic healers leave the friendly confines of planned
meetings in rented auditoriums and go to the hospitals? Why don’t they
just do it? Maybe they don’t do it because they can’t. And if they can’t,
when in fact they put on airs they can, then they are liars. But if like
Peter they really can but won’t, then “these healers” are cruel. So their
failure to heal in public places like hospitals strikes at the heart of
their credibility. By failing to go to hospitals and heal, are they violating
their “hypocritical” oath. In either case, they stand exposed as either
liars or loveless.

(100) Tolerating Spiritual
Leaven by Matt Slick, CARM, 8/4/11
We have televangelists who boldly proclaim to millions that we are
little gods. There is the name-it-and- claim it “prosperity” teachers who
say that the crucifixion of Christ bought us health and wealth and we need
to do claim what is rightfully ours. We are taught that churches must change
their appearance and message in order to attract unbelievers -- all the
while compromising the gospel. The error of universalism, that all people
will be saved, is creeping in little by little and gaining converts.

Time For Christian Leaders To Test False Teachers by Marsha West,
8/29/11
I’ve written several articles voicing concern over the Christian
Right (CR) uniting with leaders in the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR)
for the purpose of fighting the culture war. Other Christian bloggers are
concerned as well and have been asking valid questions, such as why the
CR chooses to involve themselves with these fringe groups. As of this date
we’re still in the dark. So I’ll toss out the question again: Why do Christian
leaders, pastors, and luminaries choose to unite with what Jesus referred
to as “ravenous wolves”?

preach. …….But when I meet them I will say ‘leave me I never knew you workers
of iniquity.’ Why? Because they use His authority and His name, because
the power was in Jesus’ name, or Jesus’ authority, not in them………And they’re
gonna fragment and divide the Church because you won’t test them….. Well,
it’s about time we test them ……..You test them by Scripture. Then if your
fidelity is the Scripture, and your allegiance is the Scripture, you reject
them! ……When you take your eyes off Scripture as the criterion for authority
and you place it on experience and on people, and on revelations, and on
messages that allegedly come from God, you are set up for deception, you’re

(105) Bad
Shepherds - an Examination in Light of Scripture by Mishel McCumber,
Deception Bytes, 2/23/12
Recently, I became aware of scripture verses in Jeremiah I had previously
been unaware of. Immediately, I was stuck by how accurately the verses
portrayed the characteristics of the apostate shepherds, teachers, and
prophets we are seeing in the church today. It drove me to pull out
other scriptures to see if I could get an overall picture of what GOD considers
to be a bad (or false)shepherd. I should not have found it surprising that
God so accurately described over two thousand years ago, those I would
run across in my trek through the wilderness of false doctrine; but I did.
This is in no way a comprehensive list and if you find other scriptures
that address these false shepherds, teachers, pastors, teachers and prophets,
I would be grateful if you pass them along. I have first given a
list of characteristics then backed them up with scripture, adding a short
personal commentary.

(106) Prophets,
Not Profits by Al Lewis, Wall Street Journal, 4/23/12
God does not want you to be rich. Every so often, he raises up a
prophet to teach wayward profiteers about the sacrifice he demands. Ephren
W. Taylor II, who called himself "the Social Capitalist," may be one such
prophet. This son of a preacherman sold investment schemes at megachurches
from Bishop Eddie Long's New Birth Missionary Baptist Church near Atlanta
to Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church in Houston. The Securities and Exchange
Commission recently charged Mr. Taylor with running a Ponzi scheme. His
victims are now congregating in a class-action lawsuit. (Read more about
Mr. Taylor on my blog, tellittoal.com.) "There's more fraud in the name
of God than anything else," says Ole Anthony, president of the Trinity
Foundation, which has been investigating religious fraud since 1987.

(108) Evil Men and Imposters
Grow Worse and Deceive by Heidi Swander, 5/12/12
I’ve been memorizing the tiny book of Jude in the last few weeks.
It is amazing to me to think of Jesus’ brother writing to first century
Christians and saying, “For certain men have crept in unnoticed . . . ungodly
men who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord
God and our Lord Jesus Christ,” (v. 4). It’s amazing because it sounds
like the DVD I’ve just previewed; a new and timely video entitled, The
Submerging Church: How the Emerging Church is Drawing Multitudes Away from
Biblical Christianity. What we’re observing in the 21st century was already
prevalent at the inception of the church.

The amount of fraud, deception, and manipulation which takes place
in the church today under the pretence that it is the work of the Holy
Spirit, is truly staggering. The gifts of the spirit are being counterfeited.
Outright lies are peddled from internet ministries in their broadcasts
and dressed up as special revelation from God. The gift of prophecy, a
thing of excellence in its uncorrupted state, is being degraded into a
morass of dream interpretation. The gospel and the risen Christ take a
back seat to showmanship in this circus of vanity and puffery, as the ministers
responsible seek the prophetic glory for themselves and their ministries.

(110) Are False Teachers
Above Scrutiny?by Bud Press, 7/13/12
False teachers are notorious for avoiding comments in public forums
that call into question their heresies, false prophecies, and blasphemies.
To stay on their "good side," their followers must behave themselves, walk
on pins and needles, and refrain from making waves. The same applies to
Christians who encounter false teachers, because if what is said is viewed
as "negative" or confrontational, false teachers will not hesitate to smack
the delete button on their keyboards, and even block Christians from posting
additional comments.

(114) Contemporary
Christian Divination: The False Claims and Practices of Christian Mystics
by Bob DeWaay, 2007
Those today who are evangelical Christians, who know God through
the gospel, yet dabble in the practices of the pagans, are spiritual “sons
of Jeroboam.” They are, like Jeroboam, very creative in making Christianity
relevant to the current culture. The problem is not Western rationalism
as the contemporary mystics all claim. They are fighting an obsolete battle.
The prevailing culture in America is very much “spiritual.” They claim
the need for mystical experience to fight against modernity when they are
in a post-modern culture that has embraced the East. The danger today is
not that people think that the material realm is all there is, it is that
they think they can contact the spiritual realm their own way. They are
practicing divination.

(117) The
Ultimate Falsehood excerpted from Dave Hunt's book "Countdown to
the Second Coming.", 8/1/13
Somewhere at this very moment on Planet Earth, the Antichrist is
almost certainly alive—biding his time, awaiting his cue. Banal sensationalism?
Far from it! That likelihood is based upon a sober evaluation of current
events in relation to Bible prophecy. Already a mature man, the Antichrist
is perhaps active in politics and might even be an admired world leader.
Or he could be the head of a multinational corporation, a little-known
international banker of great wealth and behind-the-scenes influence, a
sports hero—or he might arise suddenly from total anonymity. Somewhere
he is being meticulously groomed, though as yet he probably has no more
inkling than do those who encounter him daily of the ultimate role for
which Satan is preparing him and will, one momentous day, utterly possess
him.

(118) Wolf In Sheep’s
Clothing: 5 Tips to Identify One by Forgotten Word Ministries,
1/8/14
Have you ever heard the saying “a wolf in sheep’s clothing”?
I have heard it a couple of places. First, many years ago I heard one of
Aesop’s Fables which talked about a wolf that put on a sheep skin so that
he could fool the shepherd into believing he was a lamb. Then when
the shepherd locked the flock behind the gate at night the wolf thought
he was clear to eat all the sheep he wanted. To his surprise the shepherd
returned to the flock that night to gather meat for the next day. The wolf
in sheep’s clothing was killed as one of the sheep. You see the saying
“wolf in sheep’s clothing” simply means someone who is pretending to be
something they are not. Years later I heard this concept in another place
–The Bible. Jesus warns against wolves in sheep’s clothing: “ … Beware
of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but in-wardly are
ravenous wolves.” Mathew 7:15 Following are five tips on how you
can identify a wolf in sheep’s clothing; a false prophet.

(119) Christians
Eating Grass? by Conrad Mbewe, 1/12/14
As we read about this week’s Christians eating grass, may we be
caused to do more than claiming that we are not doing anything that crazy.
Let us examine ourselves to see if we have inadvertently opened a door
through which another Lesego Daniel might sneak in and with time bring
disrepute to the Lord’s name under the banner of evangelicalism. Believe
me, “Sola Scriptura” is the only bolt that totally locks out such self-deluded
impostors (such as Pastor Lesego Daniel of Rabonni Centre Ministries.)
“To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this
word, they have no light of dawn” (Isaiah 8:20).

One One of the most amazing facts of religious life is that although
masses of humanity are following spiritual leaders, few people seem to

(1) Demons, Demons, Where
Are The Demons? The Unchanged And Unchanging Neil Anderson by G.
Richard Fisher, PFO, 2/16/13
Criticizing the teachings of popular author Neil Anderson might
seem a risky task. After all, his books are advertised in Charisma and
The Marketplace (formerly The Bookstore Journal) and endorsed by the likes
of Bill Bright, Chuck Swindoll, Kay Arthur and Trinity Broadcasting Network
favorite, Jack Hayford. His teachings focus on liberation from bondage—bondage
from sin and the power of the devil, subjects any Christian ought to be
familiar with. But a closer look reveals teachings that have far more in
common with extremist Charismatic movements than with the Bible.
The bondage that Anderson promises deliverance from is not simply from
the power of sin but from demons—some of them originating with long-dead
ancestors—who indwell believers.

(2) Neil
Anderson and Freedom In Christ Ministries: A General Critique by
Elliot Miller, 1998
Through his influential ministry, Freedom in Christ, Neil T. Anderson

warfare to Christians worldwide. Although some of his teachings are helpful,
many others would be more aptly described as bondage making than as bondage
breaking.

(1) William
M. Branham by Rev. Robert S. Liichow, 1997 "Apart from the fact
that almost everything he said or taught publicly is available in one form
of another there is a more lasting and damaging legacy left behind. Branham
was responsible in a great part for the formation of what came to be known
as the New Order of the Latter Rain. Branham believed in the distributing
of spiritual gifts by the laying on of hands, he believed in restored prophets
and apostles. He was the vanguard of many more to come who will operate
in this end-time glory and power."

(8) The Life, Teachings
and Legacy of William Branham by Mike Oppenheimer, 8/18/12
One cannot understand the modern miracle revivals or healing crusades
of Benny Hinn, Rodney Browne (laughter), Toronto, Brownsville, or Todd
Bentley without referring to the healing revivals of the 40’s-50’s.that
were steered and popularized by William Branham. Nearly all the practices
of today's apostles, Prophets, healers, faith ministries, are being copied.
Visits by angels and the Lord Jesus, words of knowledge (telling people
where people live and secrets of their lives), new revelations were all
part of William Branham’s ministry operation. One can trace portions of
the revivals in our modern era back to him. The Latter Rain teachings began
by Branham and spread to so many. Branham believed he was born with a personal
angel that was a gift. But he did not think of it as such until he was
converted and went to church. This gave him an answer to a disembodied
voice (spirit) that accompanied him from birth and instructed him through
life, telling him future events and diagnosing peoples diseases. The video
is filled with audio and video on crucial teachings of Branham (and others
that admire him) that show that his angel was in charge of the supernatural
taking place. Understanding Branham's ministry in the 40'sand 50's is key
to our day. Once we know about Branham we can identify the strange teachings
and practices taking place from the new apostles and prophets trying to
bring their mystical (Latter Rain) revival in the church today. (you
can read our articles on Branham in the Latter rain section). DVD is one
hour and 15 minutes long.

(9) William
Branham - False Prophet by Forgotten Word Ministries, 9/7/12
I have decided to write this article on William Branham for 2 reasons
and that is this: William Branham’s influence on the church today is nothing
but a vile attack on the True Body of Christ. This article will also serve
as a reference to some articles that I will be writing soon on some supposed
‘men of God’ aka ‘Prophets’ in South Africa – who claim that they have
William Branham’s Mantle. Any ‘pastor’ who says that William Branham was
truly a man of God or says they have anything from William Branham (mantle,
angel, follows his teachings, etc) should be avoided like the plague.

(10) The Serpent
seed - Teaching "from the Serpent" by Mike Oppenheimer, 5/23/13
One of the most deceptive doctrines that has slithered into the
church is the serpent seed teaching. First popularized by William Branham

that have adjusted some of its meanings. Read Part
1 & Part 2.

(11) A Challenge
to Message Believers concerning William Branham by Forgotten Word
Ministries, 9/25/13
While some view William Branham's healing ministry and his gift
with the word of knowledge as proof that he was a prophet, this is not
the Biblical test. There are numerous prophecies on this website that were
made by William Branham in advance but were not fulfilled. This creates
a clear problem with Deuteronomy 18:20-22. One would think that those that
believe him to be a prophet would have numerous examples of publicly available
prophecies that were later clearly fulfilled. Sadly, this is not the case.

(12) The
Hidden Truth About William Branham and His Message by Chad Creamer,
3/31/14
Breaking away was very difficult, to the point where some even contemplated
suicide. It is only through the Grace of God that we have come out of the
great deception and looked to Jesus Christ as our only means of Salvation.
There are still many scars, the pain of having family members still trapped
in the cult and the loss of childhood friends. I hope I have helped shed
some light on this movement that has bound millions of people in its grip.
I trust that God will raise more valiant soldiers who will enter the battle
and shine the Light of Truth to all people. Deception has many forms; Branhamism
is just one of them.

(13) See, we told
you he was a prophet….! Really? by Mike Oppenheimer, 3/23/15
When God gives a vision it is connected to what he is or is going
to do among his people, and it is to prophesy. It’s not like a psychic
vision of disaster or of the future that has nothing to do with Israel,
the church. William Branham said he experienced a series of 7 visions in
1933; this was the fourth one in the series. “The Lord Jesus spoke to me
and said that the coming of the Lord was drawing nigh, but that before
He came, seven major events would transpire. I wrote them all down and
that morning I gave forth the revelation of the Lord.” One Sunday morning
about seven o'clock it happened. And It said, "Then there would come to
pass that they'd invent a car that they didn't need a steering wheel in
it; it'd be controlled by some kind of a power." They got it now. They
got it now, a magnetic power, radar control. They don't even... Just set
your radar to where you're going, it takes you yourself; you don't have
to steer it. (Ephesian Church age Jefferson Indiana 131 - 183, 60 – 1205)
Branham had received a message but from whom is the question? This was
not a vision form the Lord because of how vague it is, besides its inaccuracy.
Not to mention this was encased with 6 other visions Branham had. Seven
Major events were revealed to him in a vision before he was to preach in
a Masonic hall. What was he doing in a Masonic Hall is a good question
to ask, as Masons hold Christ in disrepute.

Paul Cain

Paul Cain, Knights Of Malta, And Saddam Hussein
by Paw Creek Ministries, 1998Something breathtaking is happening among key Charismatics (Third

that he was knighted by the Knights Of Malta. Apparently, Paul Cain
had already been knighted or was knighted at the same time. For a follow-up
on this story, check this out!

Paul
Cain, a prophetic legend and a living bridge to William Branham and
the Latter Rain of the 50's, has now been revealed to be an alcoholic and
a practicing homosexual. Ironically, this disclosure came at the hands
of his fellow prophets who had elevated him to a super prophet status and
who themselves endeavored to attain the lofty prophetic mantle of Cain
himself.

Campolo: Advanced Fence-Straddling And Denying The Exclusivity Of The Gospel
by Ken Silva, Apprising Ministries, 2/1/07
Don Retson, a reporter for the Edmonton Journal, asks Emergent Evangelical
Prophet Tony Campolo a straight forward question in the January 27, 2007
edition:Q. Do you believe non-Christians can go to heaven?A. That's a good question to ask because the way we stand is we
contend that trusting in Jesus is the way to heaven. However, we do not
know who Jesus will bring into the kingdom and who He will not. We are
very very careful about pronouncing judgment on anybody. We leave judgment
in the hands of God and we are saying Jesus is the way. We preach Jesus,
but we have no way of knowing to whom the grace of God is extended. (Online

(9) Tony
Campolo; False Teacher by Truth Watch NZ, 1/3/13
This mixture of biblically based confessions and unbiblical teaching
make Campolo a prime example of the like-warmness that disgusts Jesus (Revelation
3:14-22). It makes him a dangerous man for the undiscerning.
He has clearly fashioned a God made in his image to satisfy some personal
quest to reconcile the secular and the sacred. His golden calf is
a composite god fashioned to be kind and acceptable to a world he wants
to surround in the milk of his own good-will. By mixing truth with
error he has broken the first and second commandments, for which he will
one day have to account.

(10) Tony
Campolo to Shutter Ministry by The Berean Call, 1/27/14
TBC: While Campolo claims to have “taught evangelicals how to speak
the language of social justice,” he has contributed to the denial of the
biblical gospel, which he to a certain degree admits: In his book, A Reasonable
Faith he writes: “There are some warnings that I wish to issue to anyone
reading this book. The first is to be aware that the theology expressed
in this short volume represents a personal attempt to state my Christian
faith in a way that might prove meaningful for my secularist friends. I
am sensitive to the fact that any attempt to state the Gospel in the dominant
categories of a culture inevitably leads to a distortion of the Gospel.
Consequently, anyone who accuses me of violating the biblical message is
correct” (p. 190).

the first great anointing, so be it, but what was the second, the third,

YONGGI CHO’S THEOLOGY AND CHURCH GROWTH METHODOLOGY by Christian
Wei, The Burning Bush, Volume 2 Number 2, July 1996One of the most dangerous and confused issues
in contemporary Christianity is on the nature of the Christian’s success
or prosperity. People in our success-oriented generation are always attracted
to successful methods or prosperous phenomena. If a particular method works,
a great multitude will follow and exalt it, regardless of its philosophy
or theological accuracy. It is very disheartening to know that many people
in modern Christianity have discarded God’s Word and Christian doctrine
in favour of these so-called "successful methods" in their pursuit for
more success in this world. One of their favourite arguments is based on
Gamaliel’s philosophy (Acts 5:33–40). Thus, they argue that one indication
that their activities are of God is the presence of large crowds. They
forget, however, that there are many false religions in this world with
innumerable adherents. Paul Yonggi Cho, a very influential person in the
Christian scene today, is a leading proponent of the above-mentioned concept.

For years following publication of his demonic book “The Fourth

combines Kenneth Copeland style word-faith heresy with Oriental Shammanism
and occult visualization techniques claiming “Buddhists and Hindus have
known his formula for centuries but now Jesus Christ has revealed it to
him”. Cho’s ‘formula’ is the bogus notion of Eastern mysticism that the
human imagination is one’s spirit. His corrupted pseudo theology was a
combination of “blab it and grab it” of the money preaching tele-evangelists,
gnosticism, and Shammanism.

the rubbish he teaches certainly did not do him any good. Neither will

imagine to be Christian by thinking with their emotions and confusing their

John Hagee

(1) The
Other Gospel Of John Hageeby G. Richard Fisher, PFO, 1999
"Most
people who see and hear the Rev. John C. Hagee are impressed. He is rotund,
strident, authoritative (and could well pass for Rush Limbaugh’s older
and more serious brother). His delivery alone gives the impression of one
who really knows what he is talking about. However, careful evaluation
of the teachings of Hagee, pastor at the San Antonio-based Cornerstone
Church, reveals false teaching and a defective view of a basic and essential
issue regarding salvation and the Gospel. Hagee preaches another way of
salvation for the Jew, which is in direct violation of Paul’s warnings
in Galatians 1:6-9."

(3) John Hagee's Word Games Regarding The
"Dual Covenant." by Orrel Steinkamp, The Plumbline, Volume 12,
Nov 6, November/December 2007
The Houston newspaper then quoted Hagee's own shocking words: "I'm
not trying to convert the Jewish people to the Christian faith... In fact,
trying to convert Jews is a 'waste of titne. . Jews already have a covenant
with God and that has never been replaced by Christianity." (Houston Chronicle,
April 30, 1988, sec, 6, pg. 1). But, Hagee knows that most Christians and
almost all dispensational believers do not accept this and are in fact
shocked by it. In response to a letter by PFO Director M. Kurt Goedelman,
Hagee essentially denied this. NOW HERE IS THE POINT REGARDING WORDS BEING
USED TO COVER AND DECIEVE. "Hagee claimed in a carefully nuanced letter,
dated June 18, that the Houston Chronicle had distorted what he said and
went on to further to assert: "I have not or never have been dual covenant
in my preaching”. In this he is being less than honest and playing word
games... Hagee's true view is a muddled form of the 'Two Covenant' or 'Dual
Covenant' theory, even though he would deny the label. It should be noted
that Hagee said in his reply only that he has not been dual covenant 'in
my preaching'." (PFO, G. Richard Fisher, the Other Gospel Of John Hagee.)
This is slicing and dicing words to cover and deceive. Words can or they
can conceal and even deceive.

(7) John
Hagee: Unrepentant Heretic by Harmony Daws, 11/23/10
A Christian recently wrote to me asking for more clarity about John
Hagee, whom I have called a heretic. Hagee has tried to defend himself
against this oft-made charge, even revising his book and carefully denying
belief in a dual covenant where Jews can be saved apart from Christ. Yet
in his Christians United for Israel conferences held in most major cities,
he enforces a strict policy of not mentioning Jesus, forbidding attendees
to attempt to convert them. Hagee zealously trumpets the cause of political
Zionism, believing Jewish control of all Palestine will hasten the Rapture,
and puts this priority far ahead of bringing Christ to the Jewish people.

"This
kind of teaching needs to be avoided like the plague. Personally I like
the man and his style though similar to others is unique and I believe
he is sincere. Again, in my opinion if Dr. Harfouche would change his word
faith theology to be Biblical, he could be more effective in communicating
the truth. If so he could be more effective in building up peoples spiritual
lives and see true spiritual growth instead of singing the same tune of
Hagin, Branham, Hinn, Browne and others."

Jack Hayford

(1) Jack
Hayford: Invite Unbelievers to Take Communion by Ingrid, Slice
Of Laodicea, March 16, 2006This article is encouraging non-believers
to drink damnation unto themselves as Scripture plainly points out. Where
in Scripture do you see the partaking of Lord's Table as an act of conversion
or "commitment" as this apostate pastor calls it?

(2) Is
Jesus Cleansing His Church with Cleansing Stream? by Mike Oppenheimer,
Let Us Reason Ministries, 2005This deliverance program was originally founded
by Timothy Davis. Cleansing Stream is a deliverance ministry that is endorsed
and taught by Jack Hayford, whose statement in one of the Stream’s brochures
says a lot. “Let me introduce you to Timothy Davis who has been on the
pastoral staff of Church on the Way (as Executive Director, but now longer
with them) and Cleansing Stream Ministries. I have often said that in our
ministry at the Church on the Way we refuse to be preoccupied with demons,
but we do cast them out. Because of the need of balance and insight
in this area I’d like to introduce you to a resource for approaching your
own teaching and training in the ministry of deliverance.” With supporting
headliners such as Hayford who can argue against its validity? However,
the question that needs to be asked is not if it is popular (or balanced),
but is it biblical?

(3) A
Look At Some Of The Teaching Of Jack Hayford by Robert Wise, Forgotten
Word Ministries, 3/06I am not a supporter of Hayford for a number
of reasons especially his continual decisions to be affiliated with the
"Word of Faith" preachers like Kenneth Copeland, Creflo Dollar, etc.
Jack also is the pastor of the Church on the Way in California and is the
pastor to Paul and Jan Crouch of TBN.

(4) Jack
Hayford Expose by James Sundquist, 8/06So it is appropriate that I do respond! My
reason for opposing T.D. Jakes, Kenneth Copeland, and Jack Hayford are
not because I disagree with their methods, rather it is because of the
content of their teaching as well as the false teachers they promote and
endorse and even co-labor with. I am not unique in my assessment of these
three teachers. Their published statements speak for themselves. But there
are also a great number of biblical discernment ministries besides me that
have done extensive research on their teachings who are highly credible.
But credible or not, the bottom line, is we must all be good Bereans and
simply line up their teachings with Scripture. I can only hope and pray
that many of you are simply not aware of all their teachings.

(5) Wolf
Watch: Luis Palau and Jack Hayford by by David Norris, Spiritual
Pathways Ministries Library, February 25th, 2006
Jack Hayford of the Church of the Way in Van Nuys, California, is
the founding pastor. Two of his congregation just happen to be Paul and
Jan Crouch of TBN (the Baloney Network). And, yes, he comes with all the

revelation to the extreme. He has often cited that God speaks vocally directly
to him to the point where he can “officially” say, “And, I quote”.

Remarkable Exploits of David Hogan - Astonishing Miracles or Incredible
Hype? by G. Richard Fisher, Personal Freedom Outreach, 6/00"David Hogan has the perfect ploy. The miraculous events are always
left in his wake; they always happen elsewhere and he has no eyewitnesses
to verify it. Even the inspired writer, Luke, in talking of the certainty
of his report, said it was because of the number of “eyewitnesses” that
we could believe his account (Luke 1:1-4). Paul spoke of over 500 witnesses
of Christ’s resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:6). Our faith is to be in God
and His Word, not a man. Hogan offers absolutely no documentation of any
claims."

clearly makes the claim that he has received personal revelation from God
through “the leadership of the Holy Spirit” to form the very basis of his
ministry and doctrine. Secondly, Manasseh Jordan supposedly operates within
“the realm of accurate prophetic ministry.” While at first sight that may
sound impressive, we must keep in mind that the Bible informs us the ministry
of the true prophet of the one true and living God is one hundred percent
accuracy—period.

Joshua - "Miracle Man" Rebuttal by Bill Randles
"I don't pretend to know Joshua's motivation; by all accounts he seems
to be a very sincere man. However sincerity is no safeguard against deception.
I am sure Edgar Cayce, Jean Dixon and countless other prophets, who by
Christian, Biblical standards would have to be regarded as False, were
equally sincere and unassuming. There are countless warnings in scripture
about the emergence of False Prophets and teachers who like Pharaoh's magicians,
withstood and hindered the true gospel by means of signs, wonders and miracles.
Just because Joshua seems to be able to produce "results", doesn't make
him a man of God, nor should we go there. The end does not justify the
means. The very idea of having to go to Nigeria to receive a healing, or
a miracle, or a Word from God, is unscriptural."

details that failed to come true so were edited out.

TB Joshua has just released version 3.0 of his anointed water packaging.
The packaging for anointed water 2.0 boldly claimed that it was “for the
salvation of your soul“. Presumably since the release of 2.0 someone explained
to TB Joshua that only the blood of Jesus could provide salvation, so incredibly
for version 3.0 he labels his anointed water “the blood of Jesus“. You
can’t make this stuff up. Sadly, all the hysteria about the new, upgraded
anointed water packaging turned to tragedy on Sunday when a stampede happened
at SCOAN Ghana. 4 people were killed and many others injured, according
to a police officer at the scene “15 people who were seriously injured,
some with broken limbs, many others collapsed but were resuscitated.”

Joshua’s evolving MH370 prophecy by TB Joshua Watch, 3/27/14
As it stands, he’s not offered anything of any use. However, there
are a few points that he can’t retract or twist: 1.The plane is in the
sea. This is a safe bet to hedge because that seems the only likely hypothesis,
but until the plane is found, that cannot be certain. 2.The plane will
be found any moment from now (that was first said 9 days ago, so time is
ticking on that prediction). 3.By the end of the week, the mystery will
be solved (we will no longer be talking about it). We hope that TB Joshua’s
followers will at least hold him to these points, but will also pay attention
to the order in which his predictions have been revealed. This has been
an event where someone with genuine knowledge could have been incredibly
helpful and become very well known. What TB Joshua has said has added nothing.

that he had just finished a meeting with a large delegations of officials
from the government and NGO’s such as UNICEF discussing various issues,
including the Ebola crisis. The delegation formally handed him a letter,
the contents of which he didn’t disclose. The way he described this meeting
led his delighted flock to believe that the officials had come to seek
the counsel of their “man of God”. Though the contents of the official
letter was never disclosed, it seems very likely that it announced the
tough measures being taken against any faith healers claiming to be able
to heal Ebola. The Washington post have reported that any pastor or healer
claiming to be able to heal the virus will face jail time.

‘fuel’ their cars after he met with them behind close doors at his church
premises. After giving them the money, he asked them what they planned
to write and some of them said whatever he wants them to write. He asked
them to talk about the people who were rescued/survived and not focus on
the people who died.

Lord Maitreya

(1) A
Sneak Peek At The False ProphetCheck out these articles and the web site of a false prophet, maybe
THE False Prophet. This is the leader that is proclaiming himself to be
Christ returned and aspires to lead the world church. The worldwide "revival"
movement, bringing diverse groups and people together such as Kenneth Copeland,
Benny Hinn, The Latter Rain Movement, Manifest Sons Of God, Jubilee 2000,
Oral Roberts University, The Roman Catholic Church, Word-Faith Movement,
Rodney Howard-Browne, Toronto "Blessing" churches, Brownsville AOG "Revival"
churches and many more, is now in the process of breaking down all denominational/religious
barriers via "signs and wonders" to form one world church. This world church
will find it's leader in the False Prophet. Click on the numbers below

Maitreya: Lord Of The Apostasy? by Ed Tarkowski, 1996
"Endtimes! Unity! Celebration! Joy! Rebirth! Right Relationships!
Transformation! The greatest Move of God ever known to the Church! These
are the subjects I addressed in my three part series on the surge of Latter
Rain and Restorationist unity, harvest and revival currently hitting the
Church head on. As I researched the articles, which focused on the "birthing
of the corporate child" by the year 2000, I was shocked to see that the
various quotations I'd gathered from church leaders also formed a vivid
picture of these new moves in the Church. Months later, as I began to research
false christs for our Home Page on our Lord's second coming, I was again
taken aback as I discovered that the same Latter Rain/Restorationist agenda
was being proposed through the directives and messages of Lord Maitreya,
the "Master of All Masters" channeled by New Ager Benjamin Creme. Lord
Maitreya is a likely candidate to be the "Lord" of the endtime Apostasy,
and may very well manifest himself in some way during the global celebrations
scheduled for the year 2000."

(3)The
Final Equinox 2000 ... Maitreya by Daniel Adam Millar, 1996
An interesting, if somewhat speculative theory on the end times. However,
there is a lot of fascinating information about Lord Maitreya, who the
author firmly believes is the False Prophet and the "second beast in
Revelation 13".

(4)Lord
Maitreya: The Messiah In Disguise? by the Watchman Fellowship,
1995
"According to Benjamin Creme, spokesman for the Maitreya and director
of the Tara Center, the Maitreya appeared in Nairobi, Kenya to a group
of about 6,000 worshipers. "On June 11, he appeared suddenly in the crowd
and spoke to them in their own language, Swahili, for a time. Benjamin
Creme confirmed that this appearance was truly Maitreya the Christ in one
of his many guises" (Network News, June/July 1988, p. 2)."

(5)Maiterya's
New Logo SymbolThis is purportatdly Maitreya's new logo. Here's the animated
version.You will notice that it can be seen as having 666 elements. The
basic six-pointed star is made up of two pyramids. On each six point are
six logos. The first seal is the I-Ching/yin-yang as the center for a lotus
flower with an embedded swastika. This is the same as the center seal.
The second seal is a star of David of Israel. The third seal is the cross
of Christianity, the fourth seal is the cresent moon of Islam with an I-Ching
in the middle of the star. The fifth seal is the nine-pointed star of Baha'i.
The sixth seal is allegedly the seal of the "Elects" which is basically
a star of David with a rising sun embedded with a swastika. You will notice
that he I-Ching symbol itself is made up of six elements. The lotus flower
petal represents the seventh level of "chakra" called the Soma/Sahasrara
Chakra where a person allegedly becomes one with the universe. "The
seventh trumpet is representative of the event when the Aquarian experiences
the Soma/Sahasrara Chakra activation." On the day
of declaration Maitreya will likely announce himself with the blast
of a "shofar", the Jewish "Jubilee" trumpet. At the blast of this "shofar",
all who have been initiated into Kundalini-type
experiences and manifestations, such as Hindu mystics, Tibetan monks,
channelers, mediums, witches, witch doctors, voodoo preists, satanists,
transcendental meditationists, "counterfeit" revivalists and many others
will have their highest "chakra", the Soma/Sahasrara Chakra, "activated"
and will hear Maitreya speaking to them in
unison in their minds. When they realize that people from many religions
are hearing the same thing, they will assume that the "anointing" is on
"all men" and that Christ has returned to earth. This will unify them together
as the world church under Maitreya, the False Prophet. This will likely
usher in the Tribulation. If you would like an explanation
of what the symbols in Maitreya's logo mean in the occult, go here.

Claims To Be Decended From King David & Muhammadwith comment
by Sandy Simpson, 4/4/06
This article was sent to me by a reader of the DITC web site.
These geneology claims were to be expected from promoters of Maitreya.
They are trying to sycretize all religions into one with Maitreya being
the expected coming Christ, etc. Check out the following links for
their claims about Maitreya. Maitreya is a good candidate for the
antichrist. Keep in mind while viewing this material that it is full
of lies. However, this proposed geneology does show that Maitreya
is from and Islamic country, which would be consistent with the view of
many biblical scholars that the antichrist will be from and Islamic country.

Rising? by Paul Proctor, NewsWithViews.com, December 19, 2008
There was a very strange announcement made recently in the form
of a press release posted on the Dow Jones & Company’s Market Watch
website dated December 12, 2008, that bears mentioning, if for no other
reason, because it reads like something from a supermarket tabloid. Come
to think of it, didn’t Rupert Murdoch just buy Dow Jones & Company
not long ago? If you’re not aware, they also publish, among other things,
the Wall Street Journal.

A Purpose-Driven False Christ by Warren B. Smith, 8/8/14

the purpose of God. My Plan is God’s Plan. Nothing will happen by chance.
Take part in a Great Plan which is changing the world. My Coming brings
peace.—Maitreya the “Christ” Messages from Maitreya the Christ, 1992

Cultic Teachings Of Arnold Murray by Christian Research Institute
"A
teacher who has become popular over television is a man named Arnold Murray
of the Shepherd's Chapel in Gravette, Arkansas. We at the Christian Research
Institute do not endorse the teachings of Arnold Murray. This paper will
demonstrate why we consider Mr. Murray's teachings to be heretical."

Pearson And Universalism by Mike Oppenheimer, Let Us Reason,

When
I watched Pearson on Politically Correct hosted by Bill Mahr last year,
he had next to nothing to say to people who were flaunting their sin and
making evil statements. I thought how can this representative of the gospel
be silent in the face of this?

Life And Ministry Of Oral Roberts O Timothy Magazine, Volume 7,
Issue 3, 1990
"It is obvious that Roberts is a deceiver and a false prophet. His
prophecies have been proven wrong time and time again. Sadly, he has deceived
multitudes with his lying words and false promises, and has robbed God's
people of hundreds of millions of dollars. And in spite of all the evidence
which proves Roberts' hypocrisy, he is still regarded as a great Christian
leader in charismatic circles and is still promoted as a man of God."

(2) Scandal
Brewing At Oral Roberts by Justin Juozapavicius, Associated Press
Writer, Sat Oct 6, 6:38 AM ET
Twenty years ago, televangelist Oral Roberts said he was reading
a spy novel when God appeared to him and told him to raise $8 million for
Roberts' university, or else he would be "called home." Now, his son, Oral
Roberts University President Richard Roberts, says God is speaking again,
telling him to deny lurid allegations in a lawsuit that threatens to engulf
this 44-year-old Bible Belt college in scandal.

(2) Pat
Robertson, Regent University & the DSM by PsychoHeresy Awareness
Letter, March-April 2006, Vol. 14, No. 2Robertson and those at Regent University involved in this amalgamation
of psychology and the Scripture have sold their biblical birthright for
a mess of psychological pottage. However, Robertson and his Regent University
are not the only ones that have sold out the faith once delivered to the
saints for the ungodly wisdom of men. Sadly this type of psychology is
pandemic throughout the church world.

(3) Another False Prophecy From
Pat Robertson by Bud Press, Christian Research Service, 12/31/06
It is obvious that Pat Robertson did not hear from
the Lord. Since he used his disclaimer-prophecy to solicit donations, one
wonders if he would be willing to give a refund to those who contributed
money?

Jackie Alnor, 1/11/11
Every January prognosticators and forecasters in the world, the
church, and the occult publish their predictions for the coming year. When
we look back at their track record, we're not very impressed. Some are
hit & miss; others are downright off target; none are 100% accurate.

Ham of Creation Museum Slams Robertson for Dismissing Young Earth Theory
by Stoyan Zaimov, Christian Post, 12/14/12
Pat Robertson has been accused by evangelical Christian and creationism
proponent Ken Ham of "destructive teaching," after the televangelist stated
that the existence of dinosaurs is evidence that Young Earth Creationists
are wrong about the planet being 6,000 years old.

Different Gospel - An Evaluation Of The Teachings Of Robert Schuller
by Rev. Gil Rugh
"I
am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace
of Christ, for a different gospel; which is really not another; only there
are some who are disturbing you, and want to distort the gospel of Christ"
(Galatians 1:6-7). Millions of people around the world are familiar with
the ministry of Dr. Robert Schuller. His television program and books have
made him one of the most recognized figures in Christianity today. Many
look to him as an expert on Christian doctrine and living, but are the
teachings of Dr. Schuller in line with what the Bible teaches? In his work,
A Different Gospel: An Evaluation of the Teachings of Robert Schuller,
Pastor Gil Rugh compares the teachings of Robert Schuller with the Bible
to discover if the gospel presented by Schuller is truly the gospel of
the Bible, or if it is "a different gospel." This
is no longer available as a .pdf file, but is available as a booklet via

"All in all, with its doctrinal ambiguity, theological aberrations,
unscriptural emphasis on the sunpernatural experiences and prophetical
and mystical leanings, the End-Time Handmaidens is an attraction for the
spiritually naive and undiscerning. The foundation of the group is
far-removed from the bedrock of Christian orthodoxy. ETH is just
another "end time" delusion. It has a confusing message of salvation,

End-Time Handmaidens And Servants Cult - Founder: Gwen Shaw by
Mark Scheiderer, 7/00
"Former member of the End-Time Handmaidens & Servants Cult Mark
Scheiderer states: "The reasons I am writing this report on my experience
with Gwen Shaw and the cult she has founded - a.k.a. End-Time Handmaidens
& Servants - are five (six, seven & eight [added later]) fold:
(1) To let people know how others and myself were treated while working
at this cult's headquarters. (2) Because of my grief over the mental abuse
Mrs. Shaw inflicted upon certain people before their departure. (3) Because
I can no longer agree with or keep silent about Mrs. Shaw's writings, which
are New Age teachings..(4) Because of the pain and destruction that Mrs.
Shaw, her teachings, and members of this cult have caused in my parent's
marriage (now ended in divorce), the lives of my immediate and extended
families, my life and personal relationships with others both during and
after my association with this cult, and in the lives of countless others.
(5) So that as many people as possible, especially those within this cult
would know the truth about this cult." Gwen Shaw appeared on Benny
Hinn's "This Is Your Day" during the month of October, 2000. Hinn sold
and endorsed five of her books (with a sixth one free for $40) These books
are small paperbacks. Bill Bright, C. Peter Wagner, John Arnott and
others endorse Gwen Shaw.

(3) Web Of Deception - Gwen Shaw by
Donna M. Shuck, 2007
I have been going to see Gwen Shaw for many years on a weekend retreat
once a year at the Retreat Center in PA. I admired her missionary travels
all over the world and her authorship of many books, ministry to women
and emphasis on prayer and fasting. I admired her promotion of many other
authors’ books which she presented at every convention freely. However,
there were times that I didn’t agree with some of the statements she made
or some of the behaviors that were going on in these meetings and felt
uncomfortable with the power that seemed to permeate the very air with
a powerful drawing effect. Recently God has opened my eyes in a fresh way
and awakened me concerning this false supernatural spirit, the false doctrines
and the mishandling of scriptures in her teachings and I am eternally grateful
to Him; therefore, I’d like to present you with this enlightening account
of just some of the false teachings I have encountered regarding Gwen Shaw
as well as those whom she heartily endorses.

Simpson Messages on CD & DVDNEW!How To Discern, Test &
Judge Rightlyby Sandy SimpsonThis DVD is a message based on this
article.

In running a web site with
thousands of articles, 1-2 million hits per month from all over the world,
and hundreds of e-mails per week, I have come to realize, with time, that
there is a terrible problem in Christendom today. The problem stems from
an existential subjective view of the world that has filtered into the
church from secular society, but also from the teachings of heretical wolves
who have taught an entire generation of churchgoers completely unbiblical
methods of discernment or to get rid of any discernment altogether.

A house built on the rock will stand. The Rock is
God and in particular, Jesus Christ. Therefore His written Word is
the teachings of the His Holy Spirit and a Rock we can depend on.
Anyone who wants to prove anything theologically, historically, scientifically
or anything else needs to start with correct information. If you
start with a faulty foundation, as you build your arguments, they begin
to fall apart because they are not supported in God"s truth. If you
want to build on a firm foundation, you need to start the process by a
careful study of God"s Word in context of the verse and according to the
whole counsel of God"s Word. The Bible is the best commentary on
the Bible.
